Very well executed

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Words cannot describe how terrible that movie was. That SCRIPT, oh God, it was Gonohhrea of the ear to the Power of ten. It had no substance, the plot was stupid as that new movie "karate dog" ( <--seriously, holy ----!) The quality of the camera was even bad. The only thing you ever saw was the inside of a school...person running... person not running... person getting put in S&M gear... Ugly girl rubbing her crotch on other S&M guy... Thats is how the entire movie went. The director is obviously gay, I mean, when you have a guy who trips and falls in a pile of blood, goes off to TAKE A SHOWER, and then we sit somewhere for literally ten minutes staring at his crotch and man boobs.No amount of lighter fluid could ever erase the memory of Brotherhood III: young Idiots.

I'd heard good things about David DeCouteau's movies going into this. Campy, guilty pleasures to be sure, but fun to watch and leer at. However, this fails on every level. Terrible acting, awful scripting and little worth leering at.I got dizzy watching as the "actors" wandered through the sole three sets, rarely encountering one another and seemingly unable to spot the "dungeon master," despite their being in the same room as him.Also, as a gamer, both live action and tabletop, I was upset that no true role playing game elements were used. I found myself wondering just what the players were supposed to accomplish, besides just dressing up and wandering around in the dark. If I mounted a campaign as dull and pointless as this, my players would tar and feather me and I'd deserve it! :)You would do well to avoid this at all cost. If you really want to see a good campy movie with role playing game elements watch "Mazes & Monsters" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084314/) instead.

The Brotherhood III: Young Demons pretty much blows. Nothing happens except for a LOT of running. The acting is the worst yet in the Brotherhood series, as is the "plot".Lex (Kristopher Turner) is his own Jeff Probst in a game he has created and plays in the school at night. The players all dress up like they're on their way to a renaissance festival and search the school for something that I really don't care to try and remember. During the game, Lex is able to see, hear and talk to anybody, anywhere in the school from his position in the library. As an added touch, a really stupid looking mystery man is loose in the school and appears to be making all of his victims pleasure him orally. This all builds up to a lame climax (no pun intended) that makes the end of The Brotherhood II look like Shakespeare.This film is annoying. From the constant running though the halls to the never stopping heartbeat, this movie rots. There are two redeeming things about The Brotherhood III: 1: Lex is hot! 2: The shower boy has a killer butt! It's good to see DeCoteau did something right. Other than that, there is nothing in this film to recommend. When will he realize that constant lightening in every scene is not scary? And what was up with those camera angles? I was starting to get motion sickness watching! If I was to list every plot hole in this thing, we'd be here all day.Anyway, I've rambled on enough about a movie that didn't deserve this much review space to begin with. I won't tell you not to watch it, for you have to decide that for yourself. But I will tell you that I stopped shy of hating this film, and hope that the inevitable Brotherhood IV is more on par with the first in the series than this effort.My grade: D-

Considering myself to be a veteran of pretty much all Dave Decoteau's movies, when this one landed express delivery from Amazon on my doorstep, I yelped with excitement and hurried it into my DVD player.Looking at all the previous comments, predominantly in the negative, I have to say that I myself am more than happy with Mr. Decoteau's creative output since launching Rapid Heart. I know I'm not likely to be comparing it to one of Romero's, Fulci's or Argento's, but I do know it will sit very well in my DVD collection alongside most Full Moon films and their alumni. So , to sum up, hats off to Dave Decoteau for churning out another homoerotic journey into the underworld.
